I've been traveling down some unfamiliar roads this year. Grand kid sporting events are one cause. Also, helping the Homesteaders in a rural location to which there are several scenic alternate routes. This takes me past little cemeteries I did not know existed. This one is near Cameron, Wisconsin.
Here's a nice tree shaped tombstone.
Gattin Von Rauchenstein threw me a bit. In a general sense adding Von to your name means not the literal, that you are from a place, but that you were some level of nobility. But Gattin Von is just a bit different.
It just means "Wife of". Oh, and down at the bottom "Ruhe im Frieden" is Rest in Peace. A cemetery in Germany would be called a Friedhof, literally a "peaceful place".
